The new Canal District Agawa Canyon Train Station acts as a catalyst in transforming the old St. Mary’s Paper Mill site of Sault Ste. Marie into a Northern destination for all visitors.
Completed in 2020, the Canal District Train Station is the new home to the Agawa Canyon Tour Train, Outfitters Shop with an indoor rock climbing wall, and Micro-Brewery and Block House Pub Restaurant. Being the only new building to the St. Mary’s Paper site, the station was designed to compliment the existing design fabric of the historic, sandstone monuments once built by Francis H. Clergue. As the site begins to take on a new identity as the Canal District, the train station will be a new destination for locals and visitors to share in the history of the city. Lastly, the Agawa Canyon Train Station has become a symbol for future development and downtown revitalization.
